I sent my contact to the Publisher. AFAIK, this might be a very interesting and informative exhibition, comprising items from first-rate private collections and from heretofore unexplored national museums. Pity that all connections with Georgian museums are currently non-existent due to political situations. They have the best specialists and an astounding variety of old Caucasian weapons.

Photographs are good and nice, but without texts, attributions and provenances they are just eye candy.
